Academic Integrity

DePaul University is a learning community that fosters the pursuit of knowledge and the transmission of ideas within a context that emphasizes a sense of responsibility for oneself, for others and for society at large. Violations of academic integrity, in any of their forms, are therefore detrimental to the values of DePaul, to its students' development as responsible members of society and to the pursuit of knowledge and the transmission of ideas.
